picked up a fobus paddle holster for my taurus .45

You could conceal it under a long shirt or jacket depending on how much the holster "sticks" out from the paddle. Like I said, I don't mind wearing it when I'm at the house or going to a BBQ with some friends that know I carry but out in public I'd go with a good IWB holster.

Hell dude, a good IWB holster is preferable in every situation where overt carry isn't smiled upon.

It prints like you're hiding a ham radio tower under your clothes, that's why. The point of concealment is concealment.

It is a compact .45. It prints about the same in the waist or out. I have tried them both. Its just more comfortable on the ouside. And I don't need to buy bigger pants.

You need a better IWB.

Ding ding ding. If your IWB prints the same as your OWB you need a better IWB. I can conceal a full size m&p in my IWB with almost zero printing.

Just for shits and giggles I stuffed my Glock 35 into my Supertuck and threw on a t-shirt. Barely printed. With my Glock 27 in the holster it becomes invisible.

Put the gun and the holster next to each other, and look at how much wider the holster is than the gun. That's the measurement you want to minimize first. And of course it'll print the same in or out of the waistband. It's all the same amount of material pointing the same direction.

So I guess wh at I'm hearing is....I need a better iwb and bigger pants.

You may not need bigger pants. You'd be surprised what you can hide with a good holster.

Gueuss my problem is with the gun not the holster. Just not enough space to hide it iwb. Thats why I went owb.

What are you using now? Have you adjusted the pants size to accommodate the holster (Not all people need to do this)? Are you using a quality gun belt?

Nope. The right holster could make it easily concealable.

Nope. The right holster could make it easily concealable.

For example ....

Glock 23 in a Safariland paddle.



Glock 23 in a OWB Raven concealment type holster.



Glock 23 in a Crossbreed Supertuck.



Only reason I used the 23 over the 27 is the Raven holster is made for the 23. If I pack the 27 in the Crossbreed it melts into my love handles.

Also, I need to clean my mirror.

Not having a problem with holster. It is easy to hide. Was just asking opion on fobus. It doesnt print bad at all.

If you like it, that is all that matters.
